In anticipation of enormous crowds for Super Bulldog Weekend, a “Family Fun Zone” will be set up behind the third base bleachers Friday and Saturday. A giant video board will show the baseball game as children can enjoy inflatable jump houses and many more activities. Fans may bring lawn chairs (no tents) and enjoy the game on the big screen.

FRIDAY – The first 500 fans will receive free Adidas EQT t-shirts. Claim tickets will be given out at the home plate entrance area, with fans redeeming those tickets for t-shirts at the third base elevator. Adidas will also throw out 200 shirts to fans immediately following the ceremonial first pitch. Friday is also Greek Life Night, where Greek members can tailgate at a tent near Sanderson Center.

Fans can create lifetime memories by using Maroon Memories. Fans can get their photo on the field, get a private tour of the Hall of Champions, lead the seventh-inning stretch, take the field with the team for the national anthem or even announce batters for half an inning.
